Francisco Xavier Sanchez (1736-1807) of Saint Augustine is an important figure in the early European settlement of Florida. He had many children and this blog is open to discussing the history, genealogy, and tales of him, his descendants and their families.

When, not if, is the question concerning our ancestors playing a part in Jamestown history.

Women didn't flock to the colonies and the disparity in gender populations created a lot of mixed marriages.
